Helping Hands at the Salvation Army
The Young Men and Young Women of the Fayetteville II Ward spent Wednesday Night Activity in service to the Salvation Army in Fayetteville. The youth helped sort and shelf canned/nonperishable food donated by the community. Food was also donated from the Bishop’s Storehouse. Everyone left with a good feeling knowing that they had done something that day to help those in need.
